Soup -Taco Soup

There is nothing better than a great bowl of soup on a cool fall or winter day. At one time I said that I could eat a potato each day, then the pounds began to sneak up on me, and now I think I could eat soup each day so that I don't eat such a large meal. This is another recipe from a friend. Soups on!

TACO SOUP

2 (13 3/4 oz) cans ready-to-serve chicken broth

15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed

11 1/2 oz jar thick and chunky medium hot salsa

11 oz can Mexican-style corn

8 oz sharp cheddar cheese

Tortilla chips, broken into bit-size pieces

In a large saucepan, combine chicken broth, black beans, salsa, and corn. Simmer, uncovered, to blend flavors, about 5 minutes.

Grate cheese and divide it and tortilla chips in serving bowls: ladle hot soup into bowls. Serve with additional chips and cheese if desired. YUMMY!

About Me

Hope you will visit my blog often, find a good recipe, send me one to post, and become a follower. Having the time to try new recipes, work on crafts, watch cooking personalities, and learn new decorating ideas is no problem for me now since I'm retired. Going to cooking classes and trying new dishes is fun. Visiting unique tea rooms to dine and to shop at favorite places has now become a hobby. It is also a wonderful leisure activity to sit down and get carried away in a good book. I am posting favorite recipes from friends, newspaper clippings, and some that I have tried. Blogs have taken over my spare time and that is NOT a good thing, but it can be fun! Enjoy your visit and find a recipe to try.
